Key points to note on these G0M44A HPE MSA LFF Midline Self Encrypted Hot Plug Hard Drives:-

This item, G0M44A, is the HPE retail number for the product described as MSA 4TB 6G SAS 7.2K 3.5in LFF Midline Self Encrypted Hot Plug Hard Drive.

These 4TB 3.5-inch Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) LFF 6Gb/s Midline (MDL) Self-Encrypted Hot-Plug 7.2K MSA Hard Drives in HP MSA/MSA2 drive tray with interposer connectors for HP MSA1040 MSA2040 MSA2050 MSA2052 MSA2000 MSA2000i and P2000 SAN Storage Arrays.

They have the below attributes:-
  ::  Genuine HP serial number and MSA/MSA2 firmware
  ::  Genuine HP manufactured Hard Drive

HP MSA2 / MSA2000 controller enclosures and large form factor expansion enclosures accept unique HP SAS disk drive modules with different firmware and different trays than other HP storage arrays and Proliant servers.

The disk drives have SAS interposers attached to the back which convert the native dual port SAS interface to an SCA-40 connector.

While this SCA-40 connector has the same shape as a Fibre Channel (FC) connector, the drives are NOT utilizing the FC protocol.

If you look closely at the interposer, the circuitry is rather simplistic and no bridge / translator chip is attached.

The interposer is, more or less, acting as a signal filter and port relocator to connect to the MSA2's proprietary backplane.

Tekmart Caveat:

Self-Encrypted Drives (SED) are only supported on the MSA 2040 Storage array and requires Firmware version GL105 or later. All drives within the MSA 2040 Storage array must be self-encrypted drives to enable the encryption feature.

SEDs can be used in a non-SED environment, but will not be encrypted unless all drives in the array are SED. Contact our enterprise support desk  if you need MSA integration assistance for Self Encryping Drives.
